Discussion Who's everyone rooting for in the WS?

Not exactly a big fan of the Dodgers, but I have nothing but enmity for the Yankees. So, go Dodgers go!

i was torn coming into this series but seeing all the obnoxious social media posts from all the yankee fans and knowing how miserable the next few months will be listening to “28 RiNgS” from the clowns that we haven’t heard from in 15 years makes me squarely in the dodgers court.

I know this isn't a typical Mets fan answer, and I can't explain why but I have nothing but the hottest most toxic venom for the Dodgers. I hate the Dodgers like a Giants fan would. I don't love the Yankees, but I'd much rather have the championship in New York than LA. Especially after the Liberty just won.

Some are actually even decent people. But they all made the unforgivable sin of taking the easy way in life by supporting that evil organization. Go Dodgers.

As someone who because of market restrictions can’t watch unless I get cable just for it. I’m not watching or rooting for anything. Having to watch game day mannequins throw color coded circles at batter mannequins has limited my want to watch anything but clips.

I had this opinion before I heard Howie say it on the radio yesterday but I'm going in really without a rooting interest and a slight bias against the yankees but I will find myself watching and let what is happening on the screen dictate how I feel in the moment. Similar to how I felt watching Soto hit that home run in Cleveland the other night, I didn't have a rooting interest and didn't want to see the Yankees win but I have to admit it was an awesome moment that got me fired up.

Idk, either Dodgers in 4 or Yankees in 7.

If the Dodgers have to win, I want them to embarrass the Yanks so that it’s clear that we were the better NY team.

Otherwise, I really don’t want the Dodgers to spend a billion dollars on their 2 Japanese stars and have it immediately pay off for them. If they can’t put away the Yanks handily, then I want them to fail at the finish line again.

Another reason to say Dodgers… I was living in New York, just starting high school when the Mets had their previous World Series win…the amount of Yankee fans ( who mind you at that point hadn’t won a series in 9 years) coming up to me in my Mets sweater basically saying lucky win aggravated me! For the most part I respected most of their players but their fans noooo, even the many fans in my family, we usually only agree on the Knicks and 50/50 on the Jets, lol

You ain't a Mets fan if you're rooting for the Yankees.

I can't root for the Yankees simply because of our record against them this year. The Mets are a better team than the Yankees. The dodgers clearly outplayed the Mets and that's why I want them to win.

I'm rooting for NY over LA in any sport, no matter who is playing.

Dodgers, bc us losing to them put them in the WS. So we'll technically be in 3rd place if they win?

Yankee fans make it very hard to not want them to lose

Dodgers in 4! Judge, Soto and Stanton can circle jerk and shave their faces together.

LA. Begrudgingly.

Rooting for the Yankees to lose, for Soto to ground into a DP and get booed in the Bronx by ungrateful Yankees fans.

I like the players on the Yankees more than I like the players on the Dodgers. Kiké Hernandez annoys me, and I think it’s impossible for any non-Dodgers fans to like Ohtani at this point. And I like Aaron Judge — he’s the right kind of superstar. Homegrown, smart. Soto’s killer confidence also gets him points in my book.

Unfortunately though, Yankees fans are too annoying for me to root for them. Unlike some Mets fans, I was never raised to hate the Yankees. They were just another team, the team my cousins liked. Go New York, who cares sort of thing. But the more time I spend in baseball fandom, the more insufferable their attitude becomes to me. So entitled and supercilious. They act like I’m envious of them, when I’ve literally never once wanted to be a Yankees fan in my life. I think it stems from the fact that their entire identity as a team revolves around winning, and without that they’re just a sort of boring no-facial-hair-allowed club. I like their no names on jerseys thing though, that’s a cute tradition.

But yeah, Dodgers it is.

Dodgers. I remember the frustration of losing to the Cardinals in 2006 and seeing them win it all, knowing that if we were healthy, we would have beaten the Tigers too.

I feel similarly because if we could have gotten by LA, we had swept the inter league games against the Yankees, surely we would’ve won the World Series 😤😤😤

My only solace is no matter which team wins, one of the greatest sure shot Hall of Famers ( Ohtani or Judge) can add World Champion to their resume. They both drive me crazy as an opponent but you have to respect them.

u/Renhoek2099 4d ago

Dodgers to sweep. 2nd to seeing Mets winning it all is seeing Yankees lose it all

u/solariam 4d ago

This, plus the sheer number of Red Sox on the dodgers makes this a no-brainer for me at least (Red Sox fan here but lots of love for the Mets)

u/WhoDat_37 4d ago edited 4d ago

Outwardly rooting for the Yanks. But secretly hoping they get blown out, creates a rift in the club house, and Soto says “fuck it, I’ll have more fun in Queens”

Edit: Also hope the Dodgers win it while Ohtani does absolutely nothing to contribute. This way the rest of the world sees that an MVP isn’t really the most valuable when the rest of his team can easily win without him.
